Life is like a hurricane when WayForward's Austin Ivansmith, director of the recently released DuckTales: Remastered, joins us for an hour to talk all about the development of the game. You'll hear about how the project began, how closely involved Disney and Capcom were with the development process, what inspired the addition of new elements, how the new game matches up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System release, what it's like to direct legendary voice actors like Alan Young and June Foray, which line of Scrooge McDuck dialogue Disney ordered to be changed, how the rearranged soundtrack was composed, what Remastered means for the future of the DuckTales brand, if a mobile or handheld version of the game is in the cards, whether or not everyone involved is interested in creating new editions of other classic Capcom/Disney collaborations from that era, how to handle negative reviews, and so much more.
Workers at Sega of America, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings Inc., have became the first employees at a major North American video-game company to ratify a union contract, a move that may accelerate a burgeoning labor movement in an industry known for widespread instability among its work force.
The contract, ratified Tuesday, covers around 150 people across marketing and other departments at the division’s offices in Southern California. Workers will receive minimum yearly pay increases of 4% in 2024, 3% in 2025 and 2.5% in 2026 as well as a number of other benefits, Catalina Brennan-Gatica, a representative for the Communications Workers of America, said in an interview.
